Dominique
Sourire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
S'en allait tout simplement
Routier, pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux
Il ne parle que du Bon Dieu
Il ne parle que du Bon Dieu
À l'époque où Jean Sans Terre
Dominique notre père, combattit les albigeois
Dominique -nique -nique
S'en allait tout simplement
Routier, pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux
Il ne parle que du Bon Dieu
Il ne parle que du Bon Dieu
Certains jours un hérétique
Par des ronces le conduit
Mais notre Père Dominique, par sa joie le convertit
Dominique -nique -nique
S'en allait tout simplement
Routier, pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux
Il ne parle que du Bon Dieu
Il ne parle que du Bon Dieu
Ni chameau, ni diligence
Il parcourt l'Europe à pied
Scandinavie ou Provence, dans la sainte pauvreté
Dominique -nique -nique
S'en allait tout simplement
Routier, pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux
Il ne parle que du Bon Dieu
Il ne parle que du Bon Dieu
Enflamma de toute école
Filles et garçons pleins d'ardeur
Et pour semer la parole, inventa les Frères-Prêcheurs
Dominique -nique -nique
S'en allait tout simplement
Routier, pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux
Il ne parle que du Bon Dieu
Il ne parle que du Bon Dieu
Chez Dominique et ses frères
Le pain s'en vint à manquer
Et deux anges se présentèrent, portant de grands pains dorés
Dominique -nique -nique
S'en allait tout simplement
Routier, pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux
Il ne parle que du Bon Dieu
Il ne parle que du Bon Dieu
Dominique vit en rêve
Les prêcheurs du monde entier
Sous le manteau de la Vierge, en grand nombre rassemblés
Dominique -nique -nique
S'en allait tout simplement
Routier, pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux
Il ne parle que du Bon Dieu
Il ne parle que du Bon Dieu
Dominique, mon bon Père
Garde-nous simples et gais
Pour annoncer à nos frères, la vie et la vérité
Dominique -nique -nique
S'en allait tout simplement
Routier, pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux
Il ne parle que du Bon Dieu
Il ne parle que du Bon Dieu

------------
Dominique, nique, nique,
over the land he plods along
And sings a little song
Never asking for reward
He just talks about the Lord
He just talks about the Lord
At a time when Johnny Lackland
over England was the king
Dominique was in the backland
fighting sin like anything
Dominique, nique, nique,
over the land he plods along
And sings a little song
Never asking for reward
He just talks about the Lord
He just talks about the Lord
Now a heretic one day
among the thorns forced him to crawl
Dominique with just one prayer
made him hear the good Lord's call
Dominique, nique, nique,
over the land he plods along
And sings a little song
Never asking for reward
He just talks about the Lord
He just talks about the Lord
Without horse or fancy wagon
he crossed Europe up and down
Poverty was his companion
as he walked from town to town
Dominique, nique, nique,
over the land he plods along
And sings a little song
Never asking for reward
He just talks about the Lord
He just talks about the Lord
One day in the budding Order
there was nothing left to eat
Suddenly two angels walked in
with a load of bread and meat
Dominique, nique, nique,
over the land he plods along
And sings a little song
Never asking for reward
He just talks about the Lord
He just talks about the Lord
Grant us now oh Dominique
the grace of love and simple mirth
That we all may help to quicken
godly life and truth on earth
Dominique, nique, nique,
over the land he plods along
And sings a little song
Never asking for reward
He just talks about the Lord
He just talks about the Lord
